CVE-2021-32769
Micronaut is a JVM-based, full stack Java framework designed for building JVM applications. A path traversal vulnerability exists in versions prior to 2.5.9. With a basic configuration, it is possible to access any file from a filesystem, using "/../../" in the URL. This occurs because Micronaut does not restrict file access to configured paths. The vulnerability is patched in version 2.5.9. As a workaround, do not use `**` in mapping, use only `*`, which exposes only flat structure of a directory not allowing traversal. If using Linux, another workaround is to run micronaut in chroot.

Con una configuración básica, es posible acceder a cualquier archivo de un sistema de archivos, usando \"/../../\" en la URL. Esto ocurre porque Micronaut no restringe el acceso a los archivos a las rutas configuradas. La vulnerabilidad está parcheada en la versión 2.5.9. Como solución, no use \"**\" en uso solo de mapeo \"*\", que expone sólo la estructura plana de un directorio no permitiendo el salto. Si esta usando Linux, otra solución es ejecutar micronaut en chroot"
